BM Full Stat Day:

A.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1227
    Reading:  130
A.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1226
    BP:  121/62
    Pulse:  59

P.M. Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1947
    Reading:  114
P.M. Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1944
    BP:  124/62
    Pulse:  59

    Only two iron capsules today. I'm not concerned about skipping an iron capsule here and there. She's getting so much iron as it is that I'd just as soon forget, every few days, to give her a third capsule. This month's blood draw will tell whether skipping one here and there is a bad idea.
    Everything looks good today. Only two meals, no lunch. She awoke on her own at a little after noon. Took a normal nap but wasn't hungry when she awoke and decided to wait until dinner to eat, so we ate dinner a little earlier than usual. Dinner was Cobb salad with chicken (no egg), a variety of fresh vegetables and greens, chopped pickled asparagus, no shredded cheese, home made Ranch dressing and crumbled Nachoes Doritos. We'll be having Cobb and other salads a lot more now that the weather is warming up.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 1950: Fair volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up.
    She retired at midnight, 5/3/06, straight up. Her light went off at 0015.
